So sad to hear about Betty's passing. In July 1988 Betty was so kind to us in helping to plan our new home with Tom Bryant and then became a family friend and God Mother to our Daughter Beatrice who was born at the Good Samaritan Hospital in 1990. We still remember Colleen and Scott's wedding: our first US wedding thanks to Betty! We also remember lots of dinners with her at Bob Evans again thanks to Betty! After returning to the UK I had to travel back to the US for business and drove from New York to Ohio just to surprise Betty in her office. It was so lovely seeing her again. Betty has always been spoken about in our family and will always be so ; she was such a big part of our life in the US. We send our love, thoughts and prayers to Betty's family at this sad time. Judith and Paul

Betty was well known in the Fairfield community. She was a long time member of Four Seasons Garden Club and her beautiful garden was on our tour just a few years ago.
Extending sympathy to the family.

Betty was a huge part of our life at the Fairfield Church of Christ. We enjoyed her presence at Keystone activities and so much more. Our condolences to her family ... and our praise to her Savior who has welcomed her home. -Alan and Jean Weber

My heart goes out to the whole Kellum family. Betty and I worked together for most of our real estate profession and we had many conversations about our children and their lives. May God bless you all with comfort at this time of your loss. Carol P.

I only had the pleasure of speaking with Betty a couple of times, but could see right away that she was a spirited woman passionate in her beliefs, a true patriot that should be an inspiration to us all. Her legacy lives on in those same qualities that can be found in her children and grandchildren for which she can be proud. Our families thoughts and prayers are with yours.

Thinking of you all. We are blessed to have known Betty! Memories of drinking wine and political talks on the Pertile patio are fondly remembered. I can still see her smile and hear her laugh as she says, "oh Pete!" Think of all the love and your memories. She is at peace. Love you all💕

We just wanted to extend our deepest sympathy to Bettys entire family. We will always cherish her visit to the house last year, as she reminisced about raising her family and living here on Littlebrook. She was quite a lady and we feel blessed to have known her.
